I finally got my refurb RT2/50 from FunkyMunky today (Thanks Jon!) and just got home. It's gonna take me a few days to figure out the midi routing and best preamp / power amp channel / speaker cab combos as well as source an engine hoist to lift my rack case.
I've got the following modules plugged into the RM4 right now:
Orangutan
LoneClean
MatchVox
DF modded Brahma
My first thoughts are to route the Orangutan, MatchVox and Brahma to the EL84 side and the LoneClean to the 6L6 side. I have 2 identical Avatar "Bluesbreaker" cabs loaded with Hellatone 60s that I want to run through. I need to bone up on the manual so I don't do something stupid in my excitement like accidentally run it in 100w bridged mode.
I'll start off running the power amp side a little hot and backing off on the preamp gain to evaluate the sag factor and find the sweet spot for creamy distortion and crunch. Then do the opposite by running the preamp gain hot and backing off on the power tubes. Hopefully I'll find that compromise between glory and permanent hearing loss.
To quote the immortal Dieter from Sprockets "Now I am as happy as a little girl." I'll leave that visual to your imagination. Looks to be a much more fun weekend now than I'd hoped for yesterday.
